EMDR/Brainspotting and other therapies CAN be used with Telehealth effectively.

Welcome!

Everson Psychotherapy, Inc. offers empathic, experiential, and supportive individual mental health psychotherapy, emotionally focused couple therapy, and EMDR, Brainspotting, and Written Exposure Therapy modalities for trauma, compulsive behaviors, and anxieties with offices in Carmichael (Eastern Sacramento) and Roseville.

Beyond providing empathetic, caring, and helpful therapy, Everson Psychotherapy, Inc.'s President Mike Everson, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), has been educated, trained, and provided with life experiences to encourage and support adolescent boys (age 12+), men of all ages, couples, parents, and military personnel. In addition, Mike loves to learn so he typically does continued education above and beyond what his licensing minimally requires so he can be of the greatest resource with the most up-to-date and helpful therapies for those who come to him for help. Mike believes he can help you find the support and healing you need for you and your loved one's lives.

What is an LMFT?

Don't let the title fool you to think LMFTs only work with marriages/couples or families. Licensed MFTs provide psychotherapy to help and support people through individualized counseling (one-on-one), couples counseling, parenting, and family therapy. Mike tends to highly focus on counseling with tween/teen boys ages 12 and up, men, couples, parents, and military/veterans/first-responders.

A Licensed MFT is a psychotherapist who has received a Masters degree from an accredited school, gained at least 3,000 supervised hours of counseling, and passed two licensure exams to become licensed by the Board of Behavioral Sciences through the State of California. Mike is an LMFT working working alongside other LMFT colleagues. This can provide more "bang for your buck" as he is able to easily consult with and pull from the experience of other therapists' education, therapy experience, and training in addition to his own.

Along the way toward his licensure, Mike provided care-counseling through faith settings and group facilitation in various settings for many years before in June of 2014 obtaining his MS in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy emphasis from the University of Phoenix. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a Minor in Religious Studies from the University of California, Davis. Additionally, he studied and received an Adult Vocational Teaching Credential, Basic Education through Sacramento State University.

Since 2013 Mike has been a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (camft.org).

Mike has supervised pre-licensed therapists through Horizon Family & Community Services and Montessori Autism Programs and Services (MAPS) where he has helped to train the next generation of mental health workers. Mike maintains his supervisor training and substitute supervises often for various agencies.

LMFTs must also complete at least 36 hours of continuing education per licensing cycle every 2 years. Mike has completed well over 500 hours of continuing education beyond his Master of Counseling education as he loves to continue to learn and wants to be an even more helpful therapist for his clients or those he supervises.
